Dear Betsy...

as written stitched in Thomas Jefferson’s hand


Thomas Jefferson is the father of the University of
Virginia, and designed the campus himself.

Mr. Jefferson was given a 1,235-pound hunk of cheese, giving us the term... “the big cheese


Jefferson was the first president to shake
hands instead of bow to people.

He took a cold foot bath every morning for 60 years!


Thomas Jefferson was one of the two presidents who signed The Declaration of Independence. 

And now he has signed your bath towel...sort of!


So Betsy, while at UVA...

eats lots of cheese,

shake hands with everyone,

and remember to wash your feet with
Thomas Jefferson’s signature towel!


Thomas Jefferson also had a penchant for
monograms and silver!

Silver expert extraordinaire, Nancy of Silver Magpies has a Jefferson monogrammed silver cup challenge for you.


I’ll bet you a Jefferson silver nickel that you’ll
enjoy a visit to SilverMagpies!

Tell Nan I sent you!

July 4th...

Since 1916

the world's most famous hot dog eating contest is held on Independence Day in the United States



According to legend…
on July 4, 1916,
four immigrants were arguing about
who was the most patriotic.

They settled the dispute with a hot dog eating contest.

And so began the yearly tradition.


Last year over 40,000 spectators attended the event at
Coney Island, and an additional 1.677 million
viewers watched it live on ESPN

Last year’s winner consumed 54 hot dogs
and buns in 10 minutes
and was crowned with the coveted international
"bejeweled" mustard-yellow belt



So fire up the grill...

loosen your belt  for some hot dogs...

save room for dessert...



And enjoy the fireworks!
